      Aah !
      How about something like shift+E, ctrl+E or alt+E[rase] to erase individual ones ?
      However, I think that Backspace is a good compromise with Delete being unavailable to you...

        Backspace works well I think.

        In 3dsmax, delete and backspae server different purposes, but both delete things. I think people with max background will have no problems getting used to it.

          I just realised that using the Backspace would interfere with the VCB input - as users can use Backspace to erase input they've entered...

              I'm thinking that I might leave this for the user to configure.

                just a thought, can you not remove it from SU shortcut list when your script starts so you have access then return it to SU when your script exits?

                  No - You can't even redefine it from the SU UI. It won't let you.

                      ?
                      So one can remove the shortcut? But not reassign it? Nor even restore it to the SU default? πŸ˜• ❓

                              Hi Thom

                              Have you tested for compatibility on the mac. Remember that the default key in the mac to erase stuff is backspace, not delete.
